The State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) has developed a tool for the collection of National Flood Insurance (NFIP) inspection data. This tool enables data to be collected on a mobile device for inclusion into a standard database. Once on the database, the inspection data is used for analysis and reporting. The tool has several GIS capabilities built in, including the ability to find your location, view and analyze a map, and retrieve attribute data. It is designed to be user friendly and intuitive for inspectors. An overview of the business process, workflow and tool capabilities and features will be presented.
